Share Your Orders Thread

I got a little bit of Christmas money… and then Zen tea has a 50 PERCENTOFFSALE – so really, it was meant to be! My first tea order in over 3 months (and that includes buying tea at my local DavidsTea) x_x
I AM READY.

took me a jing tea of the month subscription for 12months :) getting 24 tea’s 2 bags off 50gram each month! getting a free teapot with a promotion they had for 2 days and with the subscriptions comes a other free teapot thingy :) feeling happy because its a surprise each month what i’m gonna get!

So. I was already waiting on 50 grams of each of these
Shanti Ayurvedic
Strawberry Ginger
Honeybush Lemon Ginger
Chocolate Cake
The Immunizer

as well as a Space Invaders Perfect Tea Mug. But then I went shopping today. And got
100 gram of pineapple oolong
50 gram of vanilla orchid (last month’s TOTM prepacks)
50 grams of bear trap
and random bags of between about 35 and 50 grams. I was scooping during very brief lulls at work so I kind of just got a random large scoop of everything and then threw in a bit more if i really wanted it. They were
Creme Brulee Rooibos
Birthday Cake
Oh Canada
Green & Fruity
Mint Chocolate
Cinnamon Chai Rooibos
Coco Chai Rooibos
Orange Blossom.

And then I went to the other Tea Store in our mall for the first time just to check them out and bought three random flavoured rooibos that I can’t remember the names of.

reading this makes me feel better! like less of a freak.
cuz i placed 3 orders to davidstea basically all in one month. placing new orders before the last one even arrived!!
and i went to chicago last weekend and visited davidstea TWICE in one day. buying more tea both times.
but ya know what. it makes me so happy that it can’t be wrong!
tea is guilt free!
you are buying an experience. something that invokes memories and creates stories. like art or music.
at least that’s how i rationalize it :)
(also creme brulee rooibos is a great winter evening choice. a permanent go to.)

Let me add to that Shmiracles! You are buying an experience of peace and wellness, you are not indulging gluttonously, and you are participating as part of a larger community. Of all the things there are to collect, tea is absolutely one of the most logical…it doesn’t go unused, and if it does, you can swap it on here. It adds to a healthy lifestyle, has calming as well as energizing qualities without a bunch of additives or ingredients you can’t pronounce, and it even lets you explore the cultures of different areas of our world!!

you guys know how are it is to walk out of a tea store without buying something? I have to go through that all day everyday. I’m just currounded by kilogram and kilogram of the thing i covet most in the entire universe… my life is just sooooo hard guys… But you are so right Jackie T!! It really is one of the absolute best things you can collect!
